Politico "What happened: Freshman Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) made the fiery accusation Tuesday that the U.S. Capitol Police entered his office and took photos of a confidential legislative proposal. The congressman said the USCP then launched a full-scale investigation against him.
"The timeline: Nehls said they snapped pictures of a draft legislative proposal that would have ensured body armor quality for law enforcement officers. He said Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger indicated they were investigating a "veiled threat" against the congressman, but Nehls said he was never warned of such a risk.
"After communicating with Chief Manger, it became clear that my office was under investigation and surveillance by [Capitol Police]. We were the ‘threat.’ If Capitol Police had spent this much time investigating January 6th as they did investigating my private legislative materials, January 6th would not have happened.” — Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas)
"Next steps: Nehls said he asked the Capitol Police inspector general to look into the matter and they accepted.". . .
. . ." The Capitol Police, without naming Nehls, denied his allegation: Chief Thomas Manger said it's policy that if officers see a lawmaker's office is open without anyone inside, they are "directed to document that and secure the office to ensure nobody can wander in and steal or do anything else nefarious.". . .
"A spokesperson for the Capitol Police denied any disguises were worn by the officers, saying they had "plain clothes that were appropriate for the weather" and "none had vests or hard hats or anything like that.'". . .
The Capitol Police have been fully weaponized against Republicans - American Thinker
One of the things we learned during the Trump years is that the employees in the various federal agencies were so loyal to the Democrat party that nothing would sway them. Is the same true for the Capitol Police? Once Nancy Pelosi is no longer calling the shots, will they begin to do their job policing the Capitol, or will they continue to act as partisans who believe that their mission is to ensure that Washington, D.C. is a one-party town, no matter what the American voters want?
They had no authority to photograph my office, let alone investigate myself or members of my staff.

So, why is the Capitol Police Leadership maliciously investigating me in an attempt to destroy me and my character?
